AEW Collision Rating Ticks Up, Audience Down vs. NBA Playoffs

AEW Collision was up against the NBA Playoffs again this past weekend, and the rating ticked up while the viewership was down. Saturday night’s episode brought in a 0.06 rating in the 18 – 49 demographic and 347,000 viewers per Programming Insider. Those numbers were up 20% and down 12.6% respectively from the previous week’s 0.05 and 397,000 viewers.

The demo rating for the show was still down from the 0.08 from two weeks ago. Meanwhile, the viewership was the lowest since the January 24th episode had 253,000. The NBA Playoffs led the way with a 2.16 and 8.861 million viewers on NBC, followed by the NHL Playoffs (0.69 demo rating, 2.498 million) on ABC.

As a reminder, Nielsen made an adjustment to its Big Data + Panel numbers in late January, and even the original Big Data + Panel ratings make ratings difficult to compare to pre-change weeks. That said, AEW Collision is currently averaging a 0.066 demo rating and 406,000 viewers in 2026 compared to a 0.113 and 395,000 for the same time period in 2025.
